Battle of the Bling (working title), produced by US prodco Bodega Pictures (Kendra Sells Hollywood, Girl Meets Farm), is hosted by singer, dancer and social media influencer Todrick Hall. Sharing hosting duties with Hall is HGTV designer Kim Myles (High Design).

The five-part series is slated to premiere in December 2022. It follows Hall and Myles as they tour 15 properties nominated by homeowners who believe theirs is the most over-the-top of them all. With the help of some other HGTV stars, Hall and Myles will name one of the properties the “blingiest of them all.”

Most recently, HGTV commissioned home renovation series Renovation Wild, its first series based in Africa. The eight-part project, produced by Remedy Television + Branded, follows safari camp owners Grant and Lynsey Cummings and their kids as they navigate the challenges of remodelling dilapidated lodges on their remote property in Zambia.
